Our services during lockdown
As our groups will most likely remain closed until later on in the year, here are some of the ways that we are serving older people in Lewisham:
-
Regular phone calls and some socially distanced home visits
-
Activity packs and supplies
-
Arranging food deliveries and other services
-
Helping with access to information or advice
-
Connecting people with activities and projects being coordinated in the borough
Happy Spring!
We are pleased to say that we are continuing to support our members as lockdown eases, the community gets vaccinated, and we look forward to meeting again in person. If you or a loved one would like to be contacted about any of our services, please get in touch!
If you would like to support our work with a financial donation of any size, we would be very grateful!
Winnie Carlson features on the Lewisham Local website
Our very own Assistant Programme Manager, Winnie Carlson, is featured on the Lewisham Local website, discussing Ageing Well's work during the pandemic and celebrating women's achievements.
The campaign aims to view the global movement from a local landscape and individual experiences and stories.
"We want to celebrate the diverse range of voices from women who are at the forefront of Lewisham, both through their business and community involvement."

Promoting physical health
The best way you can support the NHS is to stay healthy! For over-70s and those with underlying health conditions, this still means staying home as much as possible. If you need groceries, prescriptions, or other supplies, there are people who can deliver to you. Find out how we can help.
Exploring Creativity
Pursuing creative hobbies is a great way to keep your brain active and reduce boredom while staying at home. We have some ideas for easy projects that you can tackle with supplies you may already have.
